Hi, i´m new here but i am a big fan of gears for the 360, and i also got it mainly for the editor on the pc, but also for the custom chapters of course.

I´m a 3D artist, and i was wondering if you can swap the weapons models in there for some of my own weapon creations?

I´m new to the editor also, but i followed a few tuts and all of the has proven useful, hope to see more.

But for now i´m trying to figure out how to add the rain and and an emergence hole with 3 enemies popping up like in the game, and of course how to close them.

I´m sure there will be alot of great tuts in the near future, but thats what i´m trying to figure out for now.

It would be awsome if i got some help.

For rain, open SP_Factory_P to see how we did it. Mostly material tricks, rain sheets with aggressive cull distance, and water emitters with aggressive cull distances set.

For e-holes, you usually subtract a space for them to fit over, and point an actor factory in Kismet to use the e-hole actor as a spawn point. With the e-holes you can also swap out the surface material to more closely match the ground texture you're using.

Ok I got the E hole working, but i cant understand yet how to swap textures on it, and it would be cool with a how to make rain in your level tutorial :)

From memory, you should be able to go into StaticMesh -> Rendering -> Materials, add a slot and click the green arrow to assign the selected mesh to display the material *not just base texture!* that you have selected in the Generic browser.
